    • association: immunodeficiency, EBV

  • Morphology variants

    • centroblastic: most common, multiple nucleoli
    • immunoblastic: single central nucleoli
    • anaplastic: really large and bizzare cells

    • Comment
      • The lymphoma has a *** germinal center immunophenotype
      • The Ki67 proliferation index is ***%, BCL2 stains ***% of the neoplastic cells, and c-Myc intensely stains approximately ***% of the neoplastic cells
    • Routine cytogenetic studies are pending
